PITTSBURGH (AP) — Rookie shortstop Konnor Griffin tied a season high with four hits and the Pittsburgh Pirates rallied past Kansas City 8-5. Brandon Lowe added his 32nd home run as the Pirates rallied from an early four-run deficit to move to .500 with eight games remaining. Brandon Eisert picked up the win in relief of reigning NL Cy Young winner Paul Skenes. Gregory Soto worked the ninth for his 15th save but just his first since Aug. 1. Vinnie Pasquantino and Michael Massey homered for the Royals.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — Darian Mensah connected on his first 24 passes on the way to setting Atlantic Coast Conference records for consecutive completions, and fifth-ranked Miami’s defense came up with four straight fourth-quarter stops to beat Wake Forest 33-20 on Friday night. Mensah completed 30 of 34 passes for 220 yards and three touchdowns. He helped the Hurricanes take a 31-7 lead midway through the third quarter. The defense stepped up when the offense slowed, including a late interception. Gio Lopez threw for 312 yards and three touchdowns to lead Wake Forest.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — J’Koby Williams and Cameron Dickey ran for second-half touchdowns and defending Big 12 champion No. 13 Texas Tech held on for a 28-26 win when Houston quarterback Conner Weigman came up just short of a 2-point conversion in the final minute. Weigman’s third TD pass, a 10-yarder to Patrick Overmyer with 49 seconds left, gave the 2-1 Cougars a chance to tie in the conference opener for both teams Friday night. On the try for 2, Weigman took off to the left and lunged forward with the ball extended, though his knee came down before the ball broke the plane of the end zone. Will Hammond was 17-of-27 passing for 257 yards and a touchdown for the 3-0 Red Raiders.
